To determine the coefficient of friction between a rough surface and a block, the surface is kept inclined at $45^{\circ}$ and the block is released from rest. The block takes a time $t$ in moving a distance $d$. The rough surface is then replaced by a smooth surface and the same experiment is repeated. The block now takes a time $t/2$ in moving down the same distance $d$. The coefficient of friction is

  • A
    $3/4$
  • B
    $5/4$
  • C
    $1/2$
  • D
    $1/\sqrt{2}$

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a surface having a vertical cross-section given by $y = x^2 / 4$. If the coefficient of friction is $0.5$,the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping is:

Two touching blocks $1$ and $2$ are placed on an inclined plane forming an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The masses are $m_1$ and $m_2$ and the coefficients of friction between the inclined plane and the two blocks are $1.5 \mu$ and $1.0 \mu$, respectively. The force of reaction between the blocks during the motion is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity).

If a block moving up an inclined plane at $30^{\circ}$ with a velocity of $5 \, m/s$ stops after $0.5 \, s$,then the coefficient of friction will be nearly:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is launched up on a rough inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the body and plane is $\frac{\sqrt{x}}{5}$. If the time of ascent is half of the time of descent,the value of $x$ is ..... .

When the angle of inclination of an inclined plane is $\theta$,an object slides down with uniform velocity. If the same object is pushed up with an initial velocity $u$ on the same inclined plane,it goes up the plane and stops at a certain distance on the plane. Thereafter,the body:
